The new Dynisma simulator costs between $3 and $8 million, depending on the spec.
Genesis Magma Racing is stepping things up with the purchase of Dynisma’s DMG-360XY simulator as it gears up for the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship the upcoming GMR-001 Hypercar. Developed with Formula 1 DNA, the DMG-360XY is known for ultra-low delays and realistic feedback, allowing the drivers and engineers to safely fine-tune systems before the car even hits the track. With a 16-foot excursion range and unlimited manuverability, it offers a hyper-realistic virtual experience that’ll prove key as the car’s early testing continues throughout the year.
Pro drivers André Lotterer and Pipo Derani are already putting in laps at Dynisma’s UK facility, focusing on everything from hybrid systems and brake feedback for fine-tuning. Their feedback on the simulator experience so far is that it reacts like the real thing, cutting down the time needed to adjust to tech and helping validate performance parameters quickly. The simulator is also helping the team evaluate software that would normally take multiple track days to dial in, especially with limited testing time before the 2026 season kicks off.
Genesis Magma plans to install their own DMG-360XY unit at their Le Castellet base by early 2026, integrating it into daily operations for both driver prep and race strategy simulations. With only so many real-world testing days in WEC, this virtual edge could make an actual difference when the team hits the tarmac next season. It’s all about using every tool available and narrowing that performance gap before the GMR-001 even turns a wheel.
Technical Director FX Demaison and Team Principal Cyril Abiteboul believe the DMG-360XY gives them one of the best development tools in the business. With a new car, a new team, and a tight schedule, this kind of simulation horsepower might just be the edge they need to get ahead.
